Blood Ivory

A ruthless syndicate of ivory smugglers. A mercenary with a blood vendetta. How many elephants can one man save?

Counter-terrorism officer Simon Ashcroft thought he’d seen it all, until he witnesses the bloody massacre of a herd of elephants. He becomes compelled to fight those responsible and bring them swift justice.

Yet Ashcroft’s original mission brief is simple: don’t get involved. Uncover the link between ivory smugglers and Islamic insurgents and nothing more. But Ashcroft is far from his spy masters and they’ve trained him to operate independently. That is exactly what he will do to save as many elephants as he can.

Unexpectedly another obstacle crosses Ashcroft’s path, mercenary Jack Orszak, who serves his own brand of brutal justice against the poachers. He doesn’t care for Ashcroft’s mission or the chaos he unleashes.

Who is Orszak really, and should Ashcroft trust him? And in the vicious battlefields of Africa’s Ivory Wars, when does doing what is right become more important than the mission?
